Pelosi Statement on October Jobs Report

"Last month, American businesses continued to build on the longest uninterrupted stretch of private sector job creation in our nation's history.  Yet it is clear more can and must be done to create jobs and build an economy that works for everyone, not just the privileged few.

"It is time for Republicans to end their relentless distraction, dysfunction and special interest obstruction, and put the middle class first.  Congress should act swiftly to pass common sense legislation to jumpstart the middle class and energize our economy: invest in building America, raise the minimum wage, help free our young people from the crushing weight of student debt, and unleash the full potential of women into our economy.

"House Democrats will continue to fight for the working people and middle class families who are the backbone of our democracy.  There is important work to be done, and the American people will be watching to see who works for them."
